Re: Looking for replacement AC adaptor
I had the same problem.
I found that a USB hub can power it fine. So I bought a cheap one of those.
I think I made sure it was over 1.0A.
What I did in the end was used the same adapter 3.0A USB hub power supply to power the USB hub connected and the slug
What I did in the end was used the same adapter 3.0A USB hub power supply to power the USB hub connected and the slug
(Wired up in parallel) works great.
Hope this helps.

If you have a spare that you will not be using or want to sell, please contact me.

Re: Looking for replacement AC adaptor
I had this problem and managed to repair the PSU, required surgical dissection and replacement of 2 100uF electrolytic capacitors - just hope the glued/taped case doesn't start a fir and burn the house down... You can buy new replacements cheaply on fleabay I'm sure... --- In nslu2-linux@..., Ed Watson <edmundwatson <at> ...> wrote: > > I had the same problem. > > I found that a USB hub can power it fine.

Re: Looking for replacement AC adaptor
Or...get a brand x power supply with the same output voltage and max current. If the plug is not the same, no problem, cut the wires of the replacement and defunct PSU, and wire the old plug to the new PSU. Solder, crimps, whatever, separate with heat shrink tubing (best) or electrical tape, etc.

Re: Looking for replacement AC adaptor
Just to clarify, you don't need to match the max current; the max current of the power supply just needs to be at least as large (as the max current of the NSLU2 or the original power supply). When replacing power supplies, check that: - the plug matches, - the polarity matches (whether the center is + or -, this is usually indicated in symbol form), - the output voltage is identical, - the output current rating of the power supply is larger than the current rating of the load (in this case, the NSLU2), - and that the power supply is compatible with your wall power (if you're buying the power supply domestically, this last point is probably true).

Re: Looking for replacement AC adaptor
Mind that some power supplies have a max current and a minimal current.
If the max current is significantly larger that the one of the official power supply (which now I don't recall) you have more chances that the NSLU2 without or even with load (HD)
won't draw enough power to keep the replacement power supply active.
It happened to me: I had to disable the low-power mode of my USB HD (as I was too lazy to solder a resistor on the supply cable).
